Overview

If you want a clean countertop overhang with no expensive corbels to bang your knees on, then the Stealth Speed Brace is more than up to the job. Made of thick 3/16" steel with a coat of gray primer so you can paint them to match your woodwork or countertop. A pair of braces can support up to 300 lbs. Just rout a recess into the top of the cabinet and screw it in place - it's nearly invisible once installed. Go ahead and sit on the overhang, it will not sag. Also available from Rockler, FastCap Stealth Speed Braces in Black Finish.

BEST ANSWER:I used 5 of these braces on a butcher block top 1.5" thick x 11' long x 24" wide. Overhang was about 10". I attached these to the 2"x4" frame (4 screw holes) by removing some of the wood so that the brace was flush with the top of the 2"x4" then placed the butcher block on top. Used adhesive caulk on both the braces and the frame and when the block was positioned, the adhesive would contact the top. Also screwed (2 holes) the brace to the top. Very solid. Granite is much heavier so don't know the spacing nor the number. It may be the same number (5) braces but believe the butcher block was about 150 lbs?

These were the perfect solution for supporting our custom Quartz island counter. Easy to install, space saving, no knee knocker counter supports at very reasonable cost. Used two 16" and two 24". Highly recommend them. Just remember to order the screws for mounting as well.
